Ro crashes to the main menu.

[mghoe]

Hi there,

Iam pretty new here (okay ive been here for 20 minutes lol)
anyway. I have had a problem with ro ever since it was released.
When I am in multiplayer it crashes every 20 to 2 hours of playing to the main menu (not to the desktop) it does not tell me any error messeges or anything.
I do know about zone alarm and I assure you that I do not have that on my puter.
I called my technician and he told me that I needed another stick of ram, I had only 1 512 stick in there and that I needed another. Well that did make it last longer (gameplay) and thats why sometimes it crashes every 2 hours of playing. Used to it crashed every 15 to 10 minutes, and if I was lucky I would get to the second map
Any help will be apreciated. Thank you
P.S: I am sorry if this has already been posted.

Please post your redorchestra.log after this happens. It will give us some idea on what your computer is doing.

 

[mghoe]

okay. how do I Get to that?

 

[Yoshiro]

In the redorchestra/system file there is a log file generated everytime you play called redorchestra.log. It looks just like a text document.

 

[mghoe]

okay I will try that, & report back here.

I'm having this problem too. It just started happening with the new patch, I have never lost my connection to a server in 2 years of RO.

near the end it says this:
Warning: ROSPECIES_Human None (Function ROEngine.ROSPECIES_Human.Setup:01D8) Accessed None 'PlayerReplicationInfo'
ScriptLog: ROPlayer.ProgressCommand Cmd 'menu:ROInterface.RONetworkStatusMessage' Msg1 'Connection Lost' Msg2 ''

Lemur are you using any firewall of some sort? If so try adding RO to your firewall again and deleting the old one. All updates can cause weird things to program recognization.

Can you lot note the internet provider aswell, sometimes they do weird things with ports :X

 

[mghoe]

I still cant find the log file.
Sry if its taken so long to get back. Been really busy here.

Try it in offline mode. If it works then, it's probably a issue with your connection.

 

[mghoe]

Thats what is so wierd that it works excelent in practice mode but not in multiplayer. It has never crashed in offline mode.

 

[JordanC]

Ok, then it's probably a problem with your connection. Have you tried it with all firewall and virus protection systems disabled?

 

[Yoshiro]

We will start looking into this after the holiday

Hi. I seem to be experiencing a similar problem. When i play in multiplayer, after the map has finally loaded, the game works fine. But when the server switches maps, after all the loading, i can see my name and ping on the scorelist, but i can't see my or others chat messages, and i cant move. I tried the beta but i found that caused the game to randomly crash to main menu, so i reverted back. Any suggestions as to what i might do? Thnx

 

[JordanC]

That's because you're getting timed out by the server. Your computer still loads the map, but the server disconnects you because your taking to long to load. You'll have to improve your load times to stop that from happening completely.

 

[mstm1]

And the BETA will speed them up? If so, how do i get it to stop the random crashing to main menu?

no its not a connection problem. i now have this problem was fine before this new patch the game now crashes after a couple of hours. and when i shut the game down i have no internet it looks like the crash also causes me to loose my connection. this all started after this new 1007 patch i used to play the game for hours with no problems.

 

[mstm1]

Yeah i guess sometimes these patches cause more problems than they fix. For example, i heard the latest BF2 patch causes random server crashes. I'm still having problems with this, i might just stop playing for a while in the hope that there will be some other patch that, with any luck, will solve the problem and not cause any further ones.

I have never lost connection after I shut down the game. I will try it without any antivirus or firewall enabled. I always thought w/ steam runing in the back ground a virus could sneak in. I have always been paranoid with those pesty things. lol I have restarted my modem and everthing and it will still crash. Thats why I dont think its connection problems.

I have noticed that when I play on low ping (100-50) servers I dont crash as much. Above a 100 ping I will crash after 20 minutes of playing or an hour.
So really part of me thinks it is connection problems.

I appreciate the help guys.
